The Sickly Scion's Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

Chapter 329 - 329 Recall

329 Recall

“That Young Master Shenzhi has been wearing a mask. If he takes off his mask… it’s possible that His Highness’s men won’t recognize him.”

When the woman said this name, hatred flashed across her eyes for only a short moment, but Shangguan Pu, who had been paying attention to her expression, still noticed it.

“However, his wife, Madam Shen, has a strange flower bud on her forehead. It’s very eye-catching. Moreover, there’s a big tiger beside the couple.”

Shangguan Pu had long known about this. He came today to confirm something else, but he still waited for the woman to finish before asking, “I’ve always heard you call that person Madam Shen. You were on good terms with her back then. Do you know her full name?”

The people sent to Xunyang City could at most find out that her nickname was Jiajia.

Hearing the word “friend”, the woman bit her lip. After a long time, she said the name she did not want to mention. “Shen Yijia.”

Shangguan Pu clenched his fists. He didn’t believe that there was such a coincidence in the world. If he wasn’t wrong, Young Master Shen was Song Jingchen, and that list was in his hands.

No wonder the people he sent couldn’t find them.

“Your Highness?”

The woman’s slightly puzzled voice pulled Shangguan Pu back to reality.

“Do you know him, Your Highness?” the woman asked again.

Shangguan Pu was about to answer when a maidservant in pink ran in crying.

“Your Highness, Your Highness, please save my madam.” The pink-robed maidservant ran close and knelt down.

Seeing the maidservant’s clothes, Shangguan Pu recognized that she was from his residence. He frowned and asked unhappily, “Which courtyard are you from?”

The maidservant in pink was stunned for a moment. She clearly did not expect Shangguan Pu to forget who she was. She regretted listening to her master and coming here.

However, it was too late to regret it now. She could only answer uneasily, “I’m from Tinglan Courtyard.”

Tinglan Courtyard? Shangguan Pu frowned and thought for a moment before remembering.

Originally, there was no separate courtyard for concubines in the residence. However, a while ago, a concubine caught his fancy, so he made an exception and moved her to Tinglan Courtyard.

It had been a long time since he went to that concubine’s room.

He remembered, but Shangguan Pu’s face fell.

He hated women who did not know what was good for them. She was just a concubine. Did she forget who she was just because he gave her some face?

The maidservant in pink sensed that the atmosphere was off and trembled. She braced herself and said the words her master had taught her. “No, it’s not my madam. It’s the prince’s madam. She gave the imperial grandson a pair of shoes yesterday.”

When the prince’s wife paid her respects today, the Imperial Concubine said that she had ill intentions. Not only did she punish her by making her kneel in the courtyard, but she also got someone to pour a bucket of cold water on her.

“My madam is still kneeling there… I’m worried that something will happen to her… Your Highness, please save her.”

With that, the maidservant in pink kept kowtowing.

Shangguan Pu’s expression improved a little, but he had no intention of interfering.

However, he thought of something and said in a low voice, “Lead the way.”

After taking a few steps, Shangguan Pu suddenly stopped and looked back at the woman. “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely avenge your parents.”

The woman bowed gratefully. Somewhere out of Shangguan Pu’s sight, a strange smile appeared on her face.

Wasn’t that why she gave away the list and reported it?

After they left, a four or five-year-old boy walked out of the house.

The little kid walked to the woman’s side and held her hands. He looked in the direction of the courtyard door and said, “Miss An deliberately angered Mother. I heard her instruct that maidservant to come for help as soon as Father returned…”

His voice was childish, but his words were clear.

The woman held his hand and rubbed his head with her other hand. She said gently, “Alright, don’t worry about them. What do you want to eat today? I’ll make it for you.”

“Sister Piaopiao, can I eat Ruyi Cake? Mother often made it for me when she was still around.”

“Of course.”

In the imperial study, after the princes left, Emperor Chong’an got someone to summon Lord Zhou.

After Lord Zhou returned to the residence, he rushed into the palace again.

Emperor Chong’an had first summoned a few princes, and all the ministers in the dynasty had seen him. Now that he had summoned him, could it be that he was really prepared to appoint a crown prince?

Lord Zhou walked into the imperial study with a belly full of doubts. He looked straight ahead and lifted his official robe to kneel down.
